Title: OEM Steering wheel air bag tear down
Post by: usmc_butler on August 23, 2012, 09:03:03 AM
Well got a bag of goodies off of a wrecked LP640 and this deployed airbag was in the mix ::toothy. So I decided to tear it apart, why you ask ::scratch? Who else gets to take apart an airbag on a $250,000 dollar car ::tongue! Very easy to do, 4 screws and your in. 2 rivets hold the airbag pad in, just clip them off slide the airbag piece out and tuck and glue the sides back in and you have a OEM looking air bag setup minus the airbag.

Whoa there, USMC.   ::stop the truck.  Think outside of the box.  Get the cover molded and sell repros of the cover.  Make big bucks from the members.

The actual plan is to hopefully give members here a good deal on some great parts that will be made. Im not trying to make any money just cover my cost of the purchase and materials. Im just don't like seeing all of the junk parts being sold for these ridiculous amounts of money or people hoarding good parts and not sharing, so I am going to step in here and do my part on a few odds and inns.

Rob supposedly had the 3 spoke steering wheel to match the cover looked just like oem but never said where it was from

I would really like to find a steering wheel that was a close match. Maybe I could text Rob ::beers

I really like that wheel! I've seen on ebay where the Gallardo and the Murci are the same wheel? If that is the case then Gallardo wheels are like 300 bucks and I can fit my air bag in there

I thought that the gallardo wheel was flattened on the bottom.  Now I'll have to look it up.

Don't think gallardo and murcie wheels are anything alike
murcie cover isn't circular like gallardos and you don't see as much of the side spokes on the gallardo so I don't see it fitting
the grant wheels are closer, but really cheap looking

Did you manage to take moulds of this wheel? I tried to contact lambolambo about his moulds, but he seems to have dissapeared. Would anyone be willing to ship a copy to the UK?

I don't think anything has been done on this yet since I sent it to the mold man... Sorry :'(.. I do know that CCIE sells a very nice replica one. If you need his contact info PM me.
